The Best Bike Shorts to Wear This Summer

You may have reacted the same way I did when I heard bike shorts are the latest summer fashion trend.  It’s all good.

Bike shorts are back and cuter than ever. I know, I didn’t think so at first.  I ignored it.  I denied it.  Then, I saw a super cute pair in an email and started to slowly warm up to the trend.

One of the determining factors that convinced me to try them out was the “high-waisted” bike shorts.  My confidence slowly emerged with the anticipation of knowing that some of my shortcomings will be “properly distributed”.

THE HISTORY OF BIKE SHORTS

I know this sound a bit odd, but there is somewhat of a history behind these intimidating shorts.  The original bike short was made of wool.  Eek – itchy you may think, no?!

Bike shorts morphed slowly from chamois to silk in the 1950’s.  Thankfully the 1970’s introduced the lycra bike short – not as appealing to the people watching the bicyclists trekking down the road, but more so for the actual athlete.

WELCOME TO 2020

Thankfully, bike shorts have come a long way.  As I’ve slowly warmed up to the trend, I have researched and curated a grouping of bike shirts.  They range in price, from solid prints to super cool camo and floral.

Depending on your comfort level, you can wear any of these with either a flowing t-shirt, sports bra, tank top, or comfy sweatshirt.  I have even seen them paired with a slim fitting tank and blazer or denim jacket – ready for a night out on the town.

MY BIKE SHORTS PICKS

I appreciate that some of the styles showcased below offer a pocket for your smartphone or keys, should you be using the bike shorts for their initial intention (exercise).

I will honestly not be using them for their original intention (although I finally ordered my Peloton bike but have to wait quite some time for delivery).  I see myself wearing these shorts with a flowing tank top or t-shirt and sneakers.

What are your thoughts on the bike short trend?  Please share your style tips below – I’d love to know!

SATURDAYS ARE FOR STELLA ❤️

Oh, hello there 👋 in case you’re new to my feed, this is Stella. She is an almost 3 year old goldendoodle from Stella, NC. No, we didn’t name her Stella because of the city she was born in. That was a complete coincidence!

She goes by many names - Stella, Stelladoodle, Stu Diddy, Stu, and Moose. Don’t ask 😂 (and whether she responds to any of those names is completely up to her.)

She’s finally graduating the puppy stages (I hope), but it is known that if you’re over and
👟you leave your shoes unattended

🏃‍♀️🏃🏃‍♂️you’ll be running circles around the house after her. Don’t say I didn’t warn you 😉

Today we celebrated the life of Heather McMechan, someone I am eternally grateful came into my life, and devastated has left this earth. The church was filled with people that loved her - not one person that crossed her path couldn’t NOT love her. 

Forever in my heart ❤️
